My girlfriend bought me a DVD player for Christmas, and because all the reviews were so good, I told her to get me the SCAN SC-2000.
Then I bought DVD Review Magazine, and they totally slaughtered the machine in their review.
What I`d like to know is how the same player can receive exemplary reviews in a number of other magazines - even getting Editor`s Choice in one magazine, and yet get a pasting in another one.
If you`re buying a DVD mail order, all you can do is rely on the reviews presented in the various magazines available. When these reviews are so different, it can be very confusing.
I have to say that my girlfriend ordered my player on Friday, and it arrived in Wales today (Monday). So not a bad start so far. I also find it very encouraging that the director of Scan takes the time to address the concerns voiced via this forum.
Of course the proof in the pudding is in the playing, and I won`t know that until I tear the wrapping paper off on Chrimbo day !! So I`d be intrigued to know how other people find the player - especially in its latest firmware incarnation...

Just make sure that when you open the packaging from scan, they have included the wind up handle which you use to get the player started...
Player is not bad... I was impressed... Use to have a PC with DXR3 and Hitachi(IronDuke) DVD drive... Change it to the sc-2000.. playback is far superior.. Can`t go wrong really... and the firmware is upgradable..

Dvd review had an older version with a lot of pixellation problems. You will recieve a new version without picture problems.We submitted the player over 2 months ago but it takes time to review.if you have any problems with it email yelsew[at]ku.oc.nacs nilesh scan

Thanks Nilesh - I thought that might be the case. A couple of people have said on this forum that the SC-2000`s from the new batch are great, so I`m really looking forward to getting it out of the box.
The missus won`t let me have it until Christmas though, so I`ve got a bit of a wait !!
